Multiple ERC-funded Ph.D. and postdoc positions in strain engineering, Center of Molecular Modeling, Ghent University, Belgium
The Rogge group, embedded within the multidisciplinary Center for Molecular Modeling (molmod.ugent.be) at Ghent University, Belgium, is looking for highly motivated researchers to perform state-of-the-art computational research in functional nanostructured materials design. These positions fit within a recent Starting Grant (StG) STRAINSWITCH awarded to prof Sven M. J. Rogge by the European Research Council (ERC). This grant aims to establish strain engineering as a new in silico approach to designing functional nanostructured materials such as metal-organic frameworks and metal halide perovskites (see, e.g., doi.org/10.1016/j.matt.2023.02.009). We especially welcome candidates with a strong track record who are – or may become – eligible to apply for a prestigious Ph.D. fellowship at our national funding agency or wish to prepare for a European fellowship.
